Are you going to make your child wear a mask at school?

[Mummypig2020]

Just that really. I was searching for Dd school uniform for when she starts in September and found this.

What are your thoughts?

I wouldn’t make/let her wear one. And the play school she goes too has said the staff won’t be wearing them either.

No, mine is in primary school. The children would try on each others masks (which would increase infection risks) , throw them around the playground, then lose them, all before morning break.

You are wildly overestimating the amount of freedom these children are going to have.

Primary are not allowing them...

No.

Our school have said that they are not expecting or enforcing any social distancing within their bubbles.

Facial covering not a mask or PPE... Take a look at government guidance on how effective they think facial coverings are... Normally section 6 for whatever environment..for example

I wouldn't bother

There is a world of difference between social distancing and being in a situation where they were able to try each other's masks on though.

Not for school but I've bought DCs cotton masks for shops etc. Anywhere public other than school where we'll be indoors in the coming months.

Wanted to have some masks in case they're made mandatory at any time as well.

I may wear one for the primary school run depending on how long I have to hang around on the narrow pavement outside the school gate (for staggered pick ups for 3DCs). Knowing lots of parents won't stand 2m apart, rather smoking in groups instead.

Well you can put one on your little darlings, but as soon as there out of your sight they will be off!!

But if it makes you fill better on you go!!
